We haven't seen the full details of the new deal yet, but it sounds like the new rules will apply to any contracts signed after July 1 next year. So yeah, if he's still unsigned a year from now, he goes from being able to sign an 8-year deal on June 30 (with the team that holds his rights at next year's trade deadline) to a max 6-year deal on July 1 (with any team).
